    excellent breakfast
    slow access

    The hotel is stunning and in a fantastic spot for exploring Sofia. We loved the spacious suite that provided us with peaceful park views. Breakfast was a delicious spread, and the staff were professional and attentive, making our family stay even better.

    My kids wished for quicker access to extra amenities.

    underwhelming hot items

    I enjoyed my stay, especially the superb room with a balcony and the varied breakfast options, though a few hot items felt underwhelming compared to expectations. Would return!

    The service was choice, the staff always keen to help, but the breakfast could’ve done with more variety, yeah? a solid spot to unwind.

    A balance of wins and fails

    Heavenly bed and friendly reception staff! Perfectly placed near parks and only a 3-minute walk to the metro.

    Air conditioning issues made the room too warm. Breakfast selection is inconsistent, leaving much to be desired!

    quick walks to parks and major attractions in sofia

    during my stay, I loved how close I was to several parks and landmarks, including the stunning Doctor's Garden just a 500-meter stroll away and the impressive Monument to the Tsar Liberator which is just over a kilometer away, making it easy to explore the city on foot.

    Recommend it for couples looking for convenience

    The location was truly convenient, a quick stroll to the metro and parks made everything accessible, I appreciated that. One morning, I loved the breakfast spread, it had fresh options and set us up for the day ahead.

    It wasn't cheap, but still tolerable for what we got out of it.

    helpful staff
    great breakfast
    loud party noise

    Had an amazing time with friends at this hotel. The beds were super comfy, and the staff were always helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast spread, especially the fresh fruit and pastries. the location is perfect for exploring local attractions. Make sure to check out the nearby Alexander Nevski Cathedral and the vibrant city center.

    Unfortunately, our first night was disrupted by loud music from a party in the restaurant. While it didn't happen again, it was a rough way to start the stay.

    spacious room
    unexpected charges

    The hotel is centrally located across from a beautiful park, making it easy to visit notable attractions like Alexander Nevski Cathedral within a short walk. The reception staff were efficient and welcoming, particularly commendable were the helpful personnel who assisted with various inquiries. The spacious room was tastefully decorated, featuring high cleanliness standards and L'Occitane toiletries, which added a luxurious touch to the stay. the restaurant offered a diverse and quality menu, while the wellness club provided a delightful massage experience, enhancing the overall comfort during my visit.

    The hotel charged for bottled water, which was unexpected.
